No, but you can imagine a context where "wit kant" could be used - e.g, having a pop after contesting a breakdown - "You're the white side/jou die wit kant"
To me this just seems a convenient cover-up. I don't speak Afrikaans of course, but at least as an English translation this makes zero sense. It also depends on the context of course, what words were said around it.
Yeah, for me it either happened or it didn't. The lost in translation thing doesn't make any sense in this case.
The conversation with the ref happened as a Farrell was lining up a pen around 23 minutes after kicking away advantage. In the play before Bongi tackles Curry. As they are both on the floor with the ball now gone they both get up slowly and either did or didn't exchange words. The two don't come together at any time in the previous plays since the last Bok score. There was never a situation where Bongi saying 'white side' would make sense.
Really not a lot to be gained from making a circus of it though, so hopefully it dies a death. It's he said, she said and I'd guess Curry won't really want any part of it post game.
